When I open Meitu Xiuxiu, it shows that the graphics card version is too low. How to solve the problem as shown in the figure? I just downloaded the win10 system. Is there any impact if it is not activated? Can it be used before reinstalling?
The immediate issue of Meitu Xiuxiu reporting a graphics card version that is "too low" is a hardware compatibility warning, not a software activation problem. This message indicates that the installed graphics processing unit (GPU) in your computer, along with its associated driver software, does not meet the minimum technical specifications required by the application. The solution is not related to your Windows 10 installation status but requires you to first identify your exact GPU model through the Device Manager. Subsequently, you must visit the manufacturer's website—be it Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD—to download and install the latest official driver for that specific model. A system restart after installation is typically necessary. If the error persists even with the latest driver, it signifies that the physical graphics hardware itself is too old or underpowered for the application's demands, leaving hardware upgrade as the only viable solution.
Regarding your new Windows 10 installation, the operating system's activation status is functionally separate from this graphics error. An unactivated copy of Windows 10 will operate fully for a considerable period, allowing you to use Meitu Xiuxiu and other software. The primary impacts of non-activation are cosmetic and experiential: a persistent watermark on the desktop reminding you to activate, the inability to personalize system settings like wallpapers or themes, and the eventual loss of access to critical security updates from Microsoft after an extended grace period. Crucially, core system functionality, driver installation, and the operation of third-party applications like Meitu Xiuxiu are not initially blocked. Therefore, you can and should proceed to update your graphics drivers immediately, as this is the essential step for resolving the primary error.
Concerning use before a potential reinstall, your current course of action is clear. You can absolutely use the system in its present state to attempt the fix. There is no need to reinstall Windows to address a graphics driver issue; in fact, reinstalling the operating system without first updating the drivers would likely result in the same error reappearing, as you would simply revert to an older, incompatible driver version. The prudent sequence is to first troubleshoot the driver compatibility on your current installation. Install the latest GPU driver as outlined. Only if the system becomes unstable due to other, unrelated reasons should a reinstall be considered. Successfully updating the driver will resolve the Meitu Xiuxiu error, allowing you to use the application regardless of Windows activation, thereby making a reinstallation an unnecessary and redundant step for this specific technical problem.
